The hugely popular, immersive exhibition about the history-making expeditions of the renowned ocean explorer, filmmaker and technology innovator, James Cameron – Challenging the Deep, has returned home to the Australian National Maritime Museum.
Developed by the Australian National Maritime Museum in collaboration with the Avatar Alliance Foundation, this fascinating exhibit takes visitors to the depths of our oceans through the lens of Cameron’s underwater cameras and incredible technological innovations. It’s enabled people across the globe to experience some of the least explored and least known deep ocean environments.
Through large cinema-scale projections, rare artefacts, unique specimens, and props from his feature films, visitors are invited to step inside moments from Cameron’s greatest underwater adventures, both real and fictional.
James Cameron - Challenging the Deep has delighted and amazed audiences of nearly a million people across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada, and now returns to Sydney.
Museum Director and CEO, Ms. Daryl Karp said: ‘We are thrilled to be welcoming this powerful exhibition back to the Museum. James Cameron’s remarkable deep-sea innovations and discoveries have shaped our understanding of the deep ocean. The exhibit can be explored by visitors of all ages, inspiring future generations of explorers, scientists, innovators, filmmakers and more.’
This exhibition is on at the Australian National Maritime Museum for a limited time.
